Scott Walker's 'Unintimidated' Grab for Presidential Consideration

Scott Walker's 'Unintimidated' Grab for Presidential Consideration

Why is Governor Scott Walker writing a book?

Well, to be more precise, why is former George W. Bush White House speechwriter Marc Thiessen (famously, along with Dick Cheney, one of Washington's most ardent defenders of "enhanced interrogation&quot helping Scott Walker write a book?

That's easy. Just ask Jeb Bush. Or Marco Rubio. Or Mitt Romney. Or John McCain. Or Tommy Thompson, the former Wisconsin governor who put out the classic Power to the People back in the 1990s.

If you're going to run for president -- and, as he more or less acknowledges whenever he's talking to national political writers, Scott Walker is quite interested in seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination -- you've got to produce a book.

There are, of course, some rules when it comes to writing your way into the running.

For instance, you've got to suggest that you are interested in more than your own story, that you've got answers for America.

Perhaps the national media will get to the bottom of his abrupt and puzzling withdrawal from Marquette? Also, wasn't Truman the last president without a college degree? The press corp would expose him as the rat his really is.
